Angina is a type of chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart does not receive enough blood supply. It is often caused by coronary artery disease, though other conditions can cause angina as well.

Symptoms of angina include:

• A feeling of indigestion or gas

• Chest pain, pressure or tightness

• Fatigue

• Pain in jaw, arm, shoulder or back

• Shortness of breath

If you experience angina, The Christ Hospital Health Network care team is here to help. Our doctors and medical staff will determine and treat the root cause of your angina using advanced diagnosis and treatment options tailored to your individual needs.

While angina is most often caused by coronary artery disease, it can also be caused by:

• Abnormal heart rhythms

• Anemia

• Chronic total occusion
  

• Heart failure

• Heart valve disease

• Hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid)
